Ok going to try again .... This is beyond my comprehension .... If you describe someone's behaviour as barbaric, you strongly disapprove of it because you think that it is extremely cruel or uncivilized.

This barbaric treatment of animals has no place in any decent society.
...a particularly barbaric act of violence. I cringe in horror at the events at Fairview Today .

FAIRVIEW LATEST NEWS – WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
It is alleged that the group of ex-employees are a known threat to the yard, and the business has a court interdict against the group. They have been living in an informal settlement on the Phumelela racing grounds, despite having been fired for stabbing a horse. South African Police Service spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidoo confirmed that at least one animal had been killed with a panga, while others are reported to have been injured.

She said that the scene was absolute mayhem and that backup had been requested:

“No arrests have been made at the moment. The racecourse has opened case of malicious damage to property and the Public Order Police Service (POPS) is on scene trying to contain the situation. There were 28 horses released. Most have been recovered.”

“One horse was killed, and others have been injured,” Naidoo revealed. Speaking briefly to The South African while trying to get the chaotic scene under control, one of the stable managers said that the actions of the former employees was “pure evil”:

“I have dead horses, I have injured horses… they killed one in the bushes. This is an absolute nightmare. These people are barbaric, it’s absolute savagery.”

It was actually their SM that mention 3 or 4 dead earlier this morning..

and they are correcting their error.

If people saw the photos of these poor horses with horrific injuries you would be even more outraged , very sad day for me

I’ve seen the pics and listened to a voice note from Hedley going around.. this is beyond shocking and savage, in fact, NO words can describe this.

I hope the Bremner/McGrath team recover from this trauma.

From Juan Nel Facebook “Please everybody. Some horse were injured by being let out and chased but not one horse was attacked with a panga or slaughtered. Things are bad enough as is, but false reports like these ones doing circulation hurt us massively“

Wow that makes it SOOOOO much better.

Hoping certain people are not playing this down so they can race.

There are still conflicting stories

The conflicting stories that have emerged are disturbing to say the least.
The horrific images and photographs speak for themselves.
Surely not financial considerations at the fore?
